Hi all, this is my first post and hope my english is not too bad.
This is my system:
-AthlonX 3700+
-ABIT KN8-SLI
-PNY Geforce 7800GT
-160GB Hdd
-512 RAM
-Skystar 2
-80cm solid satellite dish, 2x 0.7dB LNBs, 6 deg brkt
-4m f connection cable
I have installed skystar 2 and connected it to the dish. Installed progDVB 4.72.2, and now I have a problem with setting up the dish.
1. Can anyone tell me how to position the dish and what is the difference when I have 2 LNBs? What does 28E mean physically? Am i correct to say that only 1 transponder per LNB, and so what happens if I want to swtich transponders? Do I have to rotate the dish manually?
2. I have heard that you can decrypt encrypted channels using software like s2emu and softcam. What is the risk of using this function?
3. What if I am not allowed to set the dish outside due landlord restriction. Is there another way to get the signals?
4. Is it possible to connect a normal TV aerial (via f-plug) and watch normal TV on the computer?
Sorry for these newb questions, just want to sort all these out once and for all. Please help out!
Any amount of advice is welcome.
